Every dem wearing a Guy Faukes mask might be a route. Not sure it's really the right statement though.

The current attack on Medicaid, Medicare, the VA, fed workers, SSA, every single thing happening right now to destroy our government and hurt the people, Republicans have chosen.

They have the power to stop it. Either this is what they want or they are cowards. Either way, they're pathetic.

Hospice Nurse apparently also does work at the local VA hospital. Tensions there are high.

She tried to once again blame Musky.

I replied, "I blame every Republican in Congess. Every Republican in State Gov. EVERY REPUBLICAN.

I suspect my mom's hospice nurse voted for 47.

My suspicion began a couple weeks ago when she mentioned not liking Musky because "we didn't vote for [him]."

Today, she asked if I heard they're going after Medicaid and Medicare. My mom's Hospice is from Medicare. /1

Poster depicting a man with a top hat and business suit and formal jacket from the 1930s is driving in an open top car with a ghostly figure next to him. At the top of the page it says “When you ride TESLA, you ride with HITLER !” At the bottom it says, “Join Public Transportation TODAY!”

Seen in Milwaukee.

Past few days, my mom has been saying things like "thank you" and "okay". That may seem like nothing, but it's the most responsive she's been in over a year now.

Wondering if this is simply another micro seizure creating a temporary improvement or terminal lucidity. Just have to wait and see.

Help is out there.

Not tangible help. We're screwed. But at least we can laugh on the way.

This morning I had salted ramen for breakfast. I drank a bunch of Liquid IV.

I'm massively thirsty.

Srsly debating going to a vending machine for salty chips to quench my thirst.

Good news. Now is the anxious period where we wait to find out if we still have a government that respects the rule of law.

Despite this, I'm happy? Like, sustained happiness. For a couple of weeks now.

Yesterday it bothered me enough that I legit started Googling "happiness" as a symptom.

I'm like Toby from West Wing, but I don't think trying to get pandas for the National Zoo will fix this.

Our democratic republic is being mutilated by Republicans too cowardly to act. Our economy is going to take serious hits due to the mass fed layoffs, tariffs, etc. I know all this.

Things look terrible long term, and yet . . .

Sometimes they insist on sharing cuddle time.

Parrot reddit would eviscerate me for allowing this interaction.

You get rescued, but in the process your house gets destroyed with your puppy inside. The puppy lives, but loses an eye and one leg.

Ooof.

Makes me feel better about the rare occasions I skim the case I'm citing.

Today's moment of joy

Do we have any idea of what they allegedly did?

@VeryBadLlama [my French boyfriend, watching American news]: I don't understand??? Things are so bad??? And they set nothing on fire??? How do they expect to fix??? 3:49 PM 1/2/21. Twitter for iPhone

*nervous laugh*

If they end medicare, I lose the respite support for my mom. I lose tge care worker who comes three times a week to feed my mom lunch while I work. I lose the nurse that checks on her each week. I lose supplies like diapers and wet wipes that hospice provides.

I just can't right now.

I have yet to experience a client who says, "i know my rights" or "i know the law" and then accurately state their rights or the law.

Biggest red flag ever.

I'm not complacent. I'm not indifferent. But I will not panic. What i can do in this moment is to get ready.

I'm cleaning. It may sound stupid, but it's what is needed. I won't be able to help others if my life/home is a disaster. Which, right now, it is.

Bedtime cuddles.

I'm sorry about your dad and yes, hope you have safe flights.

Find moments of joy in everyday life.

This morning I'm happy mom is enjoying her oatmeal w fresh strawberries and blueberries.
